Small thing that make big difference : Electronic Appliances

Air conditioners are real energy wasters. An average room air conditioner operates at 1000 W, causing around 650 g of CO2 emissions per hour. Fans might be an alternative, otherwise use ACs sparingly and look for the most energy- efficient model

Clean AC filter every month. A dirty air filter reduces airflow. Clean filters enable the unit to cool down quickly and use less energy.

Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly. Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to twice as energy-efficient as their predecessors.

Move your fridge and freezer. Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own.

According to the US Dept of Energy an electric dryer can use between 1800-5000 watts of power. You can save this energy when you air dry your clothes out.
